Aluminium aerosol cans perform better than expected

The fall in demand for aluminium aerosol cans in the cosmetics sector has been offset by the surge in demand from healthcare, pharmacies and the chemical and food sectors, explained Leopold Werdich, president of the international organisation of aluminium aerosol container manufacturers Aerobal.

According to Werdich, the industry is being affected far less than other industrial sectors, and certain market segments are even enjoying a temporary boom in demand. For example, the growth in production of sanitising products the world over is creating unexpected sales opportunities for producers, while essential medical products such as asthma sprays are seeing an upturn in demand during the current pandemic.

In addition to meeting the highest hygiene requirements, aluminium packaging also offers the advantage of sustainability as the material can be recycled indefinitely without losing quality. “While making the health of our own workforce a priority, our industry will do its best to make a responsible contribution to ensuring the public has an uninterrupted supply of these important products,” added Werdich.
